Gold rush!!

Well the new poster boy or to say golden boy who has overshadowed the very likes of our favourite cricketers is none other than abhinav bhindra.An individual gold medal after so many decades and making us realise that we do have that potential and zeal to make a mark in the world sports arena.But here comes the unfortunate part where the glory and fame turns into a bit of exaggeration.The ever energetic and hyper indian media starts its usual thing of over dramatising the whole event and hampering the real essence of his winning glory.Firstly his privacy goes for a toss chasing him from beijing to delhi and then to his home.Running after his family members including his sister,intruding their privacies discussing from his childhood to his future prospects of getting married.Agreed he has brought so much fame and glory to the nation but at the end of the day he is a young chap,need his share of privacy.This is where we indians need to show a little calmness and patience,true that we are hyperactive,emotional to core but overdoing everthing will only degrade the glory earned.Now the poor rajyavardhan rathod is nomore in the focus and noone is going to ask him unless he earns another medal in next olympic. This is the unfortunate part of earning glory and fame in india,the rate with which you are appreciated loved and adored,in the same rate you are thrown out of throne once you lose the glory.What weneed is a little calmness and soberness in our appreciation to someone and even in his downfalls needs to show concern and assurance that we do believe in you.That is what a young and talented sportsmen need to succeed that little assurance and faith.And then we can see many poster boys evolving!!
